Ostersunds Preview – Can Ostersunds avoid fourth loss on trot?
Three defeats on the trot for Monday night’s hosts, Ostersunds, has resulted in the home side dropping down into second from bottom position and the relegation zone in the Swedish Allsvenskan following losses to Degerfors, Goteborg and Elfsborg.
In each of these three defeats, Ostersunds have also conceded three goals as well, so the hosts will therefore be eager to not only stop the rot and avoid defeat here on Monday night but also keep things tight at the back as well.
However, recent form suggests that Ostersunds could have their work cut out in order to achieve both of these targets as the hosts have lost seven out of their last eight matches overall in the Swedish top flight along with losing seven of their last nine games at home.
Halmstad Preview – Can Halmstad continue stubborn streak?
Halmstad have remained in 12th place in the Allsvenskan but the visitors bring a solid if stubborn looking six-match unbeaten run into this Monday evening’s encounter against Ostersunds at the Jamtkraft Arena, having drawn five and won one in recent times.
Points picked up in draws with Mjallby, Degerfors, Hammarby, Djurgarden and Varberg have been boosted by a 3-2 win away from home at Elfsborg while the bigger picture shows that Halmstad have lost just three of their last 14 matches in the Allsvenskan overall.
Results away from home have improved slightly as Halmstad have won three of their last six matches on the road but it may be best to back the visitors with the draw no bet handicap here.
